With the worst winning percentage in NFL history, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley had to lose his job. And now he has. Bradley was fired after today’s loss to the Texans, the team announced today. “I thanked Gus Bradley today for his commitment to the Jacksonville Jaguars over the past four seasons,” owner Shad Khan said…

Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins left Sunday’s game with a back injury. The good news is that his back, as in his spine, is fine. The possible bad news is that he could have an injury to an internal organ. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Jenkins is undergoing a battery of tests aimed…

Colin Kaepernick is having a pretty nice day, by most appearances. After all, the 49ers quarterback is 15-of-21 passing for 143 yards and two touchdowns already. Oh, did we mention he was losing by 15 at halftime? The Falcons are off to a 28-13 lead over the 49ers, who don’t appear much of a threat…

The Broncos have turned the ball over twice on Sunday afternoon and the Patriots scored points on both of the ensuing drives. A field goal followed Jordan Norwood’s muffed punt early in the first quarter and running back LeGarrette Blount set a franchise record with his 15th rushing touchdown of the season following Logan Ryan’s…

Steelers tight end Ladarius Green is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters after Sunday’s win at Cincinnati. Green took a big hit in the fourth quarter and did not return. Green has a history of concussions, so it’s alarming to hear that he’s in the protocol. Green had five catches…

Since Yaya Toure returned to the first team, Man City haven't dropped a single point.

The Texans pulled quarterback Brock Osweiler during Sunday’s game against the Jaguars and Tom Savage was able to rally the team for a 21-20 win that kept them in first place in the AFC South. The benching represents the nadir in a disappointing season for Osweiler, who signed a four-year deal with the Texans as…

Jimmy Hayes scored the game's only goal, Tuukka Rask made 18 saves and the Boston Bruins beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 on Sunday.

The Chargers got the ball first and scored first. They lead the Raiders, 7-3, after the first quarter. Travis Benjamin caught a 47-yard touchdown pass from Philip Rivers, capping an eight-play, 91-yard drive. The Raiders drove for a field goal, and they got back inside the Chargers’ 20 on their second drive before Latavius Murray…

Seth Curry seemed to be on a mission Sunday to show his old team what they missed out on. The Dallas backup guard made a few plays, put up some points early, and generally was a positive influence against Sacramento. That includes making this sweet no-look, behind-the-back dish to Dorian Finney-Smith.

The Broncos made the first big mistake of Sunday’s game against the Patriots, but their defense was able to keep it from turning into a New England touchdown. Jordan Norwood muffed a punt after the Broncos forced a three and out on New England’s opening possession, but the Patriots could only gain four yards after…

The Vikings had no fight on Sunday. Their coach will spend the next two weeks of a lost season looking for it. “I want to find out who’s going to fight because that wasn’t a fighting performance,” Zimmer told reporters after a 34-6 season-killing home loss to the Colts. “If they’re not going to fight,…

Martinsville Speedway has broken ground to install lights -- and unveils a new logo commemorating its 70th year of racing.

This is the time of year bad teams pack it in, especially on the road. The 49ers appear to be a bad team. The Falcons are already up 14-0 midway through the first quarter, which isn’t necessarily a surprise. Even without inactive wide receiver Julio Jones (toe), the Falcons have plenty of firepower to handle…

It was a roller coaster ride for the Packers in Chicago on Sunday, but they came out of the game in control of their playoff destiny. The Packers blew a 27-10 lead in the fourth quarter of the game, but they were able to keep the Bears out of the end zone after Chicago moved…

With six touches of the ball, Messi glides past four defenders. Luis Suarez gets the goal. Absolute brilliance.

For the Steelers, one touchdown was enough. The Steelers got six field goals from Chris Boswell and one touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Eli Rogers in the fourth quarter, then the Steelers successfully ran out the last 7:29. They held on to beat the Bengals, 24-20. The Bengals led 20-6 in the second quarter…

If the Texans would ever spend some money on a quarterback, they might be a real team. Backup quarterback Tom Savage rallied the Texans for a 21-20 win over the Jaguars, and did nothing to suggest Brock Osweiler would be getting back the job he earned simply by earning money anytime soon. The Texans benched…

If the Ravens wind up winning the AFC North, they may owe a debt of gratitude to Eagles coach Doug Pederson. The Eagles scored nine points in the final 2:20 of Sunday’s game against the Ravens to draw within 27-26 with four seconds left to play. Rather than call on Caleb Sturgis to try an…

At some point, people might have to accept that the Chiefs might be pretty good. But they’re definitely going to have to wrap their minds around the fact the Titans are OK too. The Titans moved into first place in the AFC South with a 19-17 win over the Chiefs, moving them to 8-6. It was…

A year ago, the Raiders and Chargers had hoped to share a stadium in Los Angeles. As the Chargers close in on inevitably sharing a stadium with the Rams in Los Angeles, the AFC West rivals don’t nearly enjoy the same kind of relationship they had at this time in 2015. Via Eric D. Williams…
